After two weeks of speculation and growing concern from her fans, her co-anchors from the Today show finally revealed the reason for her absence during a live broadcast on Wednesday.

“We know a lot of you have been wondering how she’s doing. We can tell you that Hoda is OK, [but] she’s got a family health matter that she’s been dealing with,” Melville revealed. He added that Kotb will be “back here at the desk very, very soon,” before they all sent her kisses.

After the announcement, Kotb made a brief appearance on the Friday episode of the Today show in a pre-taped interview with Chloe Lattanzi and John Easterling, daughter and husband of the late Olivia NewtonJohn.
